Expedition Stories

The climbing season is in full swing in the Himalayas, so here is an update from the mountains: Everest South Side: The Satori Mt. Everest South Side team consists of 10 climbers from 5 countries, with 6 having reached base camp yesterday and the remaining 4 on their way to EBC. Our Sherpa team…

Another day at the gym and another few hours battling the discomfort and pain that is part of the spin bike, stair climber or interval runs on a steep hill at my local State Park. Hour after hour, day after day, month after month, this is what it takes to attempt one of the largest mountains in the…

The gurgling pain in my stomach woke me up – for the fourth time – around midnight, man, was I sick. I climbed out of my warm sleeping bag and immediately felt the cold air at 17,000 feet in the Andes Mountains of Peru. After some fishing around, I located my headlamp before climbing out of the…

Waiting out a storm high in the mountains is the side of mountaineering that is not thrilling, exciting, or flashy. They don’t make movies about it, magazines don’t write about it, but we have all had done it numerous times. Waiting, sometimes for hours and sometimes for days, means a lot…

My first trip climbing mountains was more than I ever expected. I did the Peru, Ishinca Valley Expedition and it was amazing! Satori Adventures and Expeditions made the trip flow smoothly from beginning to end. The guides, porters and cook were wonderful. All were experienced, knowledgeable and worked hard to make the trip a success. I highly recommend Satori Expeditions to help take you on your next adventure! Thanks Dan Nash!

“Our Sherpa Sardar Mingma Tenzi Sherpa from Satori Adventures and Expeditions an 8 time Mt Everest Summitter, 2t ime K2 summitter and many more 8,000 meter peaks from Nepal. What a dedication he did, as he did not use oxygen at South Col in camp 4 for at least 72 hrs to save oxygen for the members when we stuck there due to bad weather. God bless you Dajju……”

Can’t say thank you enough for encouraging me to climb Mt. Pisco, it was everything and more then I expected. You have that trip dialed, everything was spot on! The food, guides, transportation, accommodations, everything was awesome.

You ever have that moment when you look around at your present circumstances and think….dang, life just couldn’t get any better than it is right now. I have just returned from a climbing trip to Peru with Satori Adventures and Expeditions and I am happy to say I had more of those moments on my trip than most people do in a year or even a lifetime. This is my second year with this company, and I am already planning a trip on 2017 with them. It would no way be an exaggeration if I said I cannot say enough good things about Satori. Dan Nash and his guides always put the client first. His guides, porters, and cook are the hardest working people I have ever seen and always have a smile on their face. The trips are excellently planned and the food delicious. If you are looking for an adventure that will change your life then look no further than what Satori has to offer. You will never regret the decision your made. Success is not counted by how high you have climbed but by how many people you brought with you. By this measure Dan Nash and Satori Adventures and Expeditions is extremely successful, and I am forever thankful!

I’m off Mt Pisco, and so grateful to have summited with a fantastic group of mountaineers with the BEST organization …. Satori Adventures and Expeditions. It took all of me to climb that mountain. Thank you, Dan Nash of Satori for such a incredible experience!

My recent trek to Everest Base Camp was a success thanks to Satori Adventures and Expeditions. Dan Nash prepared me well for the trek and Rishi Bhandari made a logistical nightmare look like a piece of cake. Our guide Rupkaji Thapa Magar knew the area quite well and my porter Jiban Rana Magar made it easy for me. What a team!

Dan Nash, Rishi, and the entire Satori Expeditions Nepalese staff are wonderful. I was recently on an expedition to Ama Dablam and I could not have been in better hands. They are professional, conscientious, and think of everything. Throw in the guides’ vast experience in a number of environments and you have a recipe for a fantastic climb. Climb with Satori, you won’t be disappointed!”

I used Satori Adventures and Expeditions for my Nepal trip last November. The Satori team was outstanding in their support prior to and during the 21-day trip. The trek to Everest Base Camp and climb of Island Peak 21,000-foot was an amazing, life changing experience. Satori’s local climbing guides were professional, friendly, knowledgeable and fun. They catered to everyone’s needs and helped those of us who had minor ailments along the way. I loved the trip, and plan on using Satori for my next adventure. I would definitely recommend the Satori team!
